Right. This fic is in response to been challenged by Gevaudan to put the silly phrase 'Bite the Biscuit' into a fanfic. So I have written one specially for her. This is not meant to make any kind of sense or even be good. Full credit for the phrase goes to Gevaudan.
Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger headed across the grounds towards Hagrid's Hut for their Care Of Magical Creatures lesson. All three of them hoped that they wouldn't be feeding the flobber worms again. Ever since the incident with Buckbeak they hadn't done anything but feed flobber worms and read from the textbooks. Even Hermione was getting bored of the lessons.
They reached the hut and moved to the fenced off area at the side. Inside the courtyard stood the half- giant and next to him was a cage of ferrets. "No flobber worms then Hagrid?" Ron asked secretly relieved that there weren't any.
Hagrid turned a shade of red and pulling his beard he muttered, " Err…Flobber worms have…err bitten the dust." The trio nodded at him in understanding, although Ron wasn't quite sure what Hagrid was going on about, then turned as the rest of the class joined them.
Their task for the lesson was to look after the ferrets, which were magical Hagrid, had assured them all. It wasn't until they were handling them that they realised the only magical powers the ferrets had, were to run super fast and bite super hard.
It was close to the end of the lesson when a shout came from the Slytherin students. The trio looked across and saw Draco Malfoy with his wand out pointed at the now still form of a white ferret.
Hagrid ran over and picked it up, through his tears he muttered, "Class dismissed!" then hurried into his hut.
After the trio had placed their own ferret back in the cage they joined Hagrid in his hut.
On the table in the hut lay the white ferret. " Oh Dear!" Hermione cried moving forwards to pat Hagrid on the back in a comforting gesture.
"Poor Binky… didn't do anything… Malfoy the little…" Hagrid sobbed. Ron moved over to examine the dead ferret.
After they had all left Ron said aggressively, " Malfoy better watch out or I'll make sure he bites the biscuit just like Binky." Hermione rolled her eyes.
" It's bite the dust Ron not biscuit!" In her matter-of-fact voice.
" Biscuits taste nicer than dust. Ummm… I'm hungry now I think I'll go bite a biscuit or two."
I told you it was bad.
